Update: No change to situation involving IBEW 213 and FortisBC

We wanted to provide a quick update to you to let you know that there is no change to the situation involving IBEW 213 and FortisBC.

Some of you may have encountered a news article on August 12 with a misleading headline suggesting the IBEW 213 members are set to strike. However, this is inaccurate. The article is only referencing the fact that the IBEW 213 members have a strike mandate, which we had informed you about at the end of July.

Please refer to our bulletin sent on August 7 for the latest information.

Thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we navigate this situation.

In solidarity,

April Young, Union Representative
Paul Voykin, Union Representative
Rysa Kronebusch, Vice-President, Utilities
